Odell was startled when he saw Sylvia’s red, swollen eyes with tears pooling inside them.
He scoffed and said crossly, “Don’t look at me like that. It’s not going to work on me. I’m not Tristan.”
Sylvia was completely speechless as she held back her tears. Odell could not help it and began to
chuckle when he noticed how upset she was and yet unable to express her anger in any way or form.
“Go see the children. You only have an hour.”
With that, he stepped towards the door which opened automatically.
After he entered, Sylvia stared at his figure and muttered curses, “Stupid bastard, prick!”
After she got it out of her system, she dragged herself inside.
Meanwhile, Tara, who had been hiding in the dark this entire time, was clenching her hands tightly and
angrily.
Back at the parking lot after the ball ended, she already had a feeling that something was going on
when she heard Odell suddenly tell Sylvia what happened to Isabel that same afternoon. That was
when she decided to sneak here without Odell knowing.
She could not believe that he had kissed this disgusting, wretched woman even though he hated her. It
must be the way she dressed that managed to seduce him!
Tara was angry and restless.
No, she could not allow Sylvia to use her baby as an excuse to draw closer to Odell any longer.
She had invested so much to earn Odell’s affection and done so much to maintain their relationship
over all these years. She simply could not allow Sylvia to take that away from her!
Isabel and Liam had been waiting for Sylvia to visit them.
Sylvia had just entered the yard when they bolted out of the living room.
Isabel was wearing a pink skirt and eagerly called out to her mother. Liam was dressed handsomely in
a shirt with a denim suspender strapped over it. He looked at his mother with moon-like eyes.
Sylvia felt her grievances melt away into nothingness when she saw their adorable faces again. She
greeted them joyfully and took them into her arms. Then, they went back to the bedroom.
Sylvia inspected the injury on Isabel’s hands and finally could breathe easily upon noticing that the
damage was not significant. She stayed until it was nearly midnight when the children were asleep
before she went home.
It was the weekday again.
As usual, Sylvia arrived at the studio in the morning. Shortly after her arrival, a young and beautiful
woman completely clad in branded designer clothing rushed into the studio. Sylvia’s colleague in the
studio stepped up to politely stop her from entering, but she rudely shoved them out of the way, even
yelling viciously, “Scram!” Sylvia, who was working at the time, regarded the scene with a deep frown.
That was when she recognized her half-sister Sonia charging at her brazenly.
“Sylvia, you shameless bitch!” she cursed at the top of her voice and raised a hand to hit Sylvia.
Sylvia reacted in time and grabbed the incoming wrist and hissed sternly, “Sonia, have you lost your
mind?” Sonia glared at her. “I’m here to settle things with you, you bitch!” Sylvia snarled, “Watch your
mouth.” This only made Sonia more upset. “I haven’t seen you for so many years. Not only have you
grown into a bitch, but you even dare to talk back to me now!” Sylvia jerked her lips.
So many years had passed, and she was no longer the same Sylvia that had to live under the endless
oppression of her half-sister and stepmother under the roof of the Rosses!
She snapped back at Sonia with a stoic expression, “Sonia, this is my workplace. If you have
something to say, wait until I finish work. Now, get out of here.”
With that, she released her grip on Sonia’s wrist. Sonia looked at her with wild, widened eyes. Sylvia
had been the target of her ruthless bullying throughout their childhood. How was it that the same Sylvia
was not only rebuking her but even telling her to scram?
